We have investigated olfactory-mediated pre-ingestive behavior in leptin (ob/ob) and leptin receptor (db/dh) mutant mice compared to age- and gender-matched wild-type (wt) mice. Olfactory-mediated behavior was tested using a buried food paradigm 5 times/day at 2-h intervals. for 6 days. Mean food-finding times of ob/ob and db/db mice were approximately 10 times shorter than those of wt mice. To test the effect of leptin replacement in ob/ob mice, leptin (1 or 5 mu g/g body weight in sterile saline) or carrier. was injected i.p. once daily prior to testing. Mean food finding times in ob/ob mice injected with carrier or with 1 mu g/g leptin were similar and were 2-3 times faster than in wt mice. Mean food finding times in ob/ob mice injected with 5 mu g/g leptin tripled compared to carrier-injected ob/ob mice and were of the same order of magnitude as those of wt mice, suggesting functional leptin replacement. A 3-factor repeated measures ANOVA demonstrated significant differences between the 6 cohorts (P=0.0001), food finding times (P
